Sometimes while walking swollen hands. Literally swollen fingers and removed the ring.
I met several explanations for this fact. Personally, I think that the case of the centrifugal force. Well, you know how to promote a sling and start somewhere stone? If the swing arms while walking, then the blood is thrown by centrifugal force to the fingers, and they swell. Every time someone complains to me swollen fingers, this man or that vigorously waving his arms while walking, or a woman who jogs and waving his hands, too.
Officially, this phenomenon other explanations. It is believed that at the time of brisk walking or exercising muscles increased blood flow, and in the hands, too, dilates blood vessels. Because and edema.
Yet it is believed that during walking increased body temperature, and surface blood vessels to dilate in order to better release heat to the environment.
Thus cooled firefighters
Generally cooling through the palm and fingers - it is a known fact. There is even a special device, which cools the fire.
Imagine during fire time vysochennaya temperature. Firefighters dressed in heat-proof equipment. In this outfit easily overheat. Shoot off this thing can not be, but it is necessary from time to time to cool. And then we come up with a special device, which helps to reduce the temperature of the fire by hand.
This is such a device, which is necessary to stick the hand and clasp the special metal piece. coolant circulates inside this thing. To better hand cooled, inside the device creates a negative pressure. Hand slightly swells, blood vessels dilate and heat increases dramatically. It turns out that an adult man in full gear cooled through the palm. Very clever invention.
Edema due to hyponatremia
There are theories swollen hands, but they are more relevant to professional athletes. If a lot of sweat, the sweat lost sodium. If the bare drinking water without salts, it is possible to obtain low sodium levels in the blood, which is called hyponatremia.
When blood little sodium, water starts to leave from the blood into tissues. Most often this notice on the basis of brain edema. Hands of course also swell, but most noteworthy vomiting and impaired consciousness. This still happens sometimes in beer drinkers. In beer little sodium and if drink half buckets, it is possible to obtain brain edema.
So if you run marathons or long travel through the desert, then drink water with salt.
What can I do to
Probably nothing. If you still do not established why the swollen hand, it is difficult to prevent. But you can reduce the discomfort, if you follow these tips here:
- Preferably before unloading ring finger, bracelets and straps to the wrist. So brush less otekut.
- Useful for rotating the hands back and forth. But without fanaticism, so that did not work the centrifugal force. You just need to gently and slowly rotating the to hands were sometimes over his head. So fingerprints will be better blood flow away.
- Several times during the walk or workout clenched his fists, and then widely rastopyrivat fingers. So podderzhivatsya circulation in them.
